Anyone using 150w MH and 4 T5s? Pictures wanted

So a little update, I have a 120g (4x2x2) with a 48" Current USA Outer Orbit housing. I replaced the old Power Compact with 4 T5s. I have new ballast for both the T5s and the MH. I don't have a par meter, so does anyone know ABOUT what the output is on these things? Bulbs are Phoenix 14k for mh, and ati 2x super atinic 1 coral 1 blue plus.
My blue tort is loving life up high, but I was told to put this Vivid acro high, and it's turning a pale brown. Also I feel like the colors don't have that POP like blue leds have.

Here is my current setup with 4x 150w MH and instead of t-5 I filled the channel on each side with 3w LED. My tank is a 240 8'x2'x2'.
